Not as much as Third Strike, but it does get played. There were two four-slot Neo cabinet where I went to play at Hey! in Akihabara, and Garou got a LOT of play on them; it seemed it was either Garou or RBFFS always being played on those two (Last Blade 2 was on a separate cabinet, and the KOFs were played on different machines in another row, that had a couple of Neowaves, and a couple of four slot’s with dedicated different KOFs).
It does get played, but its not everywhere. Im pretty sure there was no Garou at MORE, and I only remember seeing Garou at one other arcade when I was there. I didn’t hit alpha though. But at Hey!, I definitely had access to a lot of comp, which is why I made the big jump in my abilities between Evo’s.

Hey great to se a MOTW forum its the best 2d fighting game ever well my opinion anyway :). I dont do tourneys except with my friends i have played this game alot. And if there are any people that need help or something dont be afraid to ask. Im probebly best with hotaru but my all time favourite is Kim jae hoon. i have some unofficial strategy guides for some players if somone is interested. I have the game on Dc and ps2 and on emulator. And i first started to play the game on neo geo. My friend is a Gato lover and a verry good one so if somones interested i can probebly ask him for strategys and pointers.

This has probable already been answered but which port is the closest to arcade perfect? And what are the differences? Jojo_01, I wouldn’t mind getting that guide to see what it says ^_^’ Hotaru used to be my favorite back when I played the game.

Its not a guide its a couple of guides most are for one individual character you want them all or jusst somone special?.

Hey I got a pretty advanced question for you. I’ve seen this video (uploaded by JaimeDL)

And I just can’t figure how Hokutomaru does his sort of “horizontal teleport” at 00:25 (he actually goes through Dong), or at KO mixed up with what seems to be his taunt.
I tried some “D cancels” la Freeman (remember qcf A+D, qcf A) or Kevin Rian but hell, can’t find anything consistant.
I guess it may need to use the start button, I’ve seen some taunt cancelling stuff - I guess.
